Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck is one of Indonesian movie released in 2013 on the theme

of love and cultural conflict in 1930’s. The story begins when a young man of Minang descent
who lives and grows in Makassar, Zainuddin (Herjunot Ali) go to Batipuh, Tanah Datar, West
Sumatra, in order to know the birthplace of his father and deepen his religious knowledge.
Zainuddin’s arrival was not well received by the villagers because of the history of the
Zainuddin’s descendant─whose father comes from Minang marry his mother who comes from
Bugis. At that time, the structure of Minang people manages the ancestry from maternal
lineage. However, Zainuddin strengthens his heart to remain in Batipuh, especially when he
met a beautiful girl named Hayati (Pevita Pearce). After that, they fall in love and Zainuddin’s
descendant was again being the obstacle of their romance. Zainuddin was forced to leave
Batipuh because their relationship deemed unfit. However, Zainuddin and Hayati promised to
love each other.

The problems get bigger when Hayati proposed by a wealthy man of pure Minang descent,
Aziz (Reza Rahadian). Forced by her family, Hayati accepts the proposal and breaks her
relationship with Zainuddin. Zainuddin chooses to leave Minang island and ventured to Java
island after his heart had been broken by Hayati. With his talent as a writer, Zainuddin managed
to gain fame as well as material happiness. Meanwhile, the destiny between Zainuddin and
Hayati did not necessarily stop. Inadvertently, Zainuddin again met with Hayati who has now
become the wife of Aziz. As might be expected, their turbulent love then started burning again.

This movie is remarkable because each part of the story is described so smoothly. The
characters of this movie successfully deliver a deep emotion to the audience. As usual, Reza
Rahadian plays impeccably. When Herjunot Ali and Pearce Pevita still seen trying hard to turn
their character, Reza Rahadian appears so easy in the figure of Aziz. Pevita Pearce also
successfully demonstrated with good acting skills. Although the character of Hayati still feels
not so ripe, Pevita capable of displaying the figure of the girl who lived in the 1930’s with the
problem of conflict between tradition and her romance with a performance that will be able
heartbreaking. However, the strongest performance in Tenggelamnya Kapal Van Der Wijck
clearly comes from Herjunot Ali. Herjunot managed to give a pretty deep emotional touch to
his character, reciting poetic dialogues given to his character well and makes the character
Zainuddin was so easy to get the sympathy from the audience. Other acting appearances were
quite a surprise present from Randy Nidji who recently made his acting debut through, but
managed to give the appearance that is so convincing.
